Supporting Financial Data Security at Scale

Solving Modern Financial Challenges

Financial services businesses are facing monumental technological change and challenges, including cyber security, rising competition, and regulatory scrutiny. Institutions from commercial to investment banking, trading, and insurance are being pressured to deliver faster transactions and services, deeper analytics, and personalized customer experiences that meet modern expectations.

That’s a lot to ask on top of existing demands, and all while minding their infrastructure TCO and maintaining strict security standards in a time where technology is moving faster than ever. Your financial customers are probably asking themselves what the solution is; the answer is, of course, modernization. Smartly investing in new, powerful infrastructure can help customers in the financial space move faster, scale smarter, and provide security capabilities for sensitive data going forward.

Next time you sit down to speak to one of these customers, introduce them to – or remind them of – the comprehensive solutions AMD products deliver that help drive revenue, mitigate risk, and improve customer trust.

Moving Faster and Scaling Smarter

AMD provides a range of solutions that can help your financial customers get more from their infrastructure. Engineered for accelerated performance and efficiency, they enable firms to respond rapidly to market changes while controlling costs and enabling both security capabilities and supporting regulatory compliance.

AMD EPYC™ server CPUs, joined with AMD graphics and the open software ecosystem AMD delivers, provide a suite of flexible architecture for the era of AI and evolving financial workloads; from fast risk modelling, to pricing, trading, and analytics, AMD hardware delivers the level of performance your customers need to meet time-sensitive workload demands.

As more customers move to adopting AI and accelerated workloads, both performance and efficiency will matter more than ever. Through AMD solutions, customers are able to drive lower TCO through consolidation; with AMD EPYC server CPUs enabling incredible performance per core and per socket, such platforms enable firms to bring the same workloads to a much smaller server footprint, which can reduce their overall hardware expenditure, power consumption, and operational complexity. Additionally, it helps lower software licensing costs in environments tied to cores or sockets.

DBS quartered its data center footprint, reducing hardware costs by 75 percent through switching to AMD EPYC server CPUs. Instead of relying on expensive monolithic solutions, they discovered how general-purpose hardware could provide the flexibility and resiliency they were seeking. The organization now sits at 99 percent virtualization, and thanks to the scaling offered by AMD EPYC server CPUs, DBS has increased their virtual machine (VM) density from 250 VMs to 1000 per rack – a 4X improvement with a close to 4X cost efficiency over six years.

Companies like MonetaGo are using cloud platforms powered by AMD EPYC server CPUs to detect duplicate financing fraud and keep their data protected. 

Building a global fraud detection platform capable of analyzing billions of documents in real-time without exposing sensitive financial data is a tricky ask. By leveraging confidential computing advanced by AMD EPYC server CPUs, MonetaGo has enabled secure cross-organization data analysis, all while maintaining strict regulatory compliance and data privacy. The company makes use of AMD Secure Encryption Virtualization (SEV) to encrypt data that’s in use, protecting it from threats. They can now securely process and compare data across multiple financial institutions rapidly, allowing them to detect duplicate financing fraud at a global scale – technically unfeasible until recent hardware modernization.

Powering the Future of Finance

AMD solutions offer customer benefits such as being able to significantly reduce server footprints and obtain high performance per system watt. Even moving beyond pure performance, AMD delivers stunning security features built-in with AMD Infinity Guard that help protect sensitive data and support zero-trust frameworks your customers rely on. Ultimately, moving to AMD solutions means your financial clients enjoy infrastructure that not only enhances and elevates their security capabilities, helps reduce risk and TCO, but also prepares them for the demands of today’s financial world and those of tomorrow’s.
